For coaches not equipped with a permanently mounted macerator
discharge pump and reel, a portable macerator pump may be
attached directly to the discharge outlet on your coach� Follow the
pump manufacturer’s directions, but always empty the black tank
first, followed by the gray tank, and flush both with fresh city water
whenever possible�
NOTE
Always drain the black tank first, followed by the gray water
tank. This helps to flush any remaining black tank waste
from the drain hose and the coach’s drain outlet assembly.
A portable macerator pump kit can make waste disposal a clean
and easy operation� They are available for purchase through your
American Coach dealership�
■
MACERATOR DISCHARGE PUMP
AND REEL
Your coach may be equipped with a permanently mounted 12-Volt DC
macerator discharge pump and hose reel assembly, which will aid in
the disposal of the contents of both the gray and black wastewater
tanks. The waste discharge hose is accessed at the forward (left) side
of the wet bay compartment� The macerator pump assembly is located
beneath the vehicle, at the end of the waste tank drain line� The
pump’s discharge outlet connects via a short hose to the waste
discharge hose and reel assembly�
note
The macerator pump’s discharge output hose leads to the center hub
of the waste hose reel assembly, which is permanently mounted
behind the wet bay compartment beneath the coach�
Coaches equipped with the macerator discharge pump and reel
assembly have remotely operated waste discharge gate valves� The
electrically actuated remote waste discharge valves, along with the
macerator pump and waste discharge hose reel are controlled by
selector switches located inside the wet bay compartment�
